Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in Las Vegas.

They walked got married in a late night Las Vegas drive-through called Little White Wedding chapel.

A source told TMZ: "They did, indeed, get hitched ... and the license is a signal they are now man and wife!"

The outlet went on to explain that the 'Jenny from the Block' hitmaker — who was previously married to singer Marc Anthony and has twins Max and Emme, 14, with him while Affleck has Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner -— has even changed her name in light of the marriage and will now legally be known as Jennifer Affleck.

A record on the Clark County Clerk's Office system reads: "Party 1 Name: Affleck, Benjamin Geza, Party 2 New Name: Affleck,Jennifer."
 

Lopez confirmed her and Aflleck's nuptials in the latest edition of her newsletter, On the JLo, Sunday afternoon. 

Here's the complete statement: 

We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.

Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.

We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed).

So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives. They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. But in the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.

When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another. We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives. Thank you to the Little White Wedding chapel for letting me use the break room to change while Ben changed in the men’s room.

They were right when they said, “all you need is love”. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to. Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.

With love,
Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck

The Good Will Hunting star was initially engaged to JLo back in the early 2000s before they went their separate ways, but the pair struck up a relationship once more in April 2021 and announced their re-engagement exactly a year later, when JLo showed off her green-hued diamond engagement ring to fans in a video.

She said: "I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again."

Following the news, an insider said: "JLo is ecstatic and can't wait to be his wife. She believes it's true love and was meant to be."— BANG SHOWBIZ
